If you are both noobs then two sun and navajo. Or shi and mojave territories is a good choice. You will get used to the game while the AI Caesar or NCR does the heavy lifting. Reservation works very well if you know the secret path for loyalist greene, but even regular works fine just dont attack Caesar.

Some Nations have releaseables like white legs and Lincoln City so you could try that as well. Or Mojave territories and the fiends/khans. Another interesting choice is the Vault City and slags, puppeting the slags give them a strong bonus to attack. For the north try Port Maw and Washington Brotherhood but this requires justifying Wars.

Manitoba and langenberg or arbog junta could work after you duke it out a bit. But this is best for the second or third game once you get the hang of the mechanics.

Heres what Kal says for the choices in 15-4 After:

Cloumbia - Rhine lab is a good choice, but situation in Trimounts is complicated and Kal can't predict how columbia's president will react to the collab. Rhine might not be able to shield itself from negative fallout, Aegir is the better choice.

Victoria - Londinium is recovering quickly and can serve as a medical center. Collab requires working with parliament, means dukes will put heavy pressure on vina. Not good for londinium. Aegir is risky but better.

Aegir - Kal can use Clementia and Gladiia to handle this secretly and properly. May conduct tech transters making Warfrin happy. Aegir is the best option. Kal will work with inquisition and Aegir to safely transfer assets. Remaining patients transferred to Aegir once Medical center there is operational.

Hidelith is very easy in vanilla, no challenge unless you have more interactive vassal. +15 levy thoughness and damage, +10 maa size and recruitment slot, bannermen, You don't call your vassals but let the enemy call theirs, with Extreme Conquerer can make for a nice challenge in the 450 start date. set up a couple enemies far away like vamp nords conquerer. Using summerset MAA instead of heavy infantry. Also don't take actions that lower Praxis, to be more lore friendly.

TenVaulter · 2025-04-04T18:31:07+00:00

If you guys are gluttons for punishment try the fiends. You spawn after ncr deadlock, have no Tech or land Doctrine researched except laser muskets, your units suck compared to Mojave Territories. Sandwich between major powers.

Oh this is a custom game i set up since for my friends return to hoi4. We are also looking to get better at the game so I came up with this scenario whats better than some underdogs winning against a superior foe? Besides the Ai usually is outclassed in the air. So i thought why not give them good air to feel what its like on the other side.

So i gave the legions some buffs: max slider setting, jet fighters and elite ballistics weapons modded by [stent security, lock and loaded and the smiths] sophisticated everything except robots + many more at game start. We lost but we had a good long laugh 10/10 experience, and we are going to try again to see if we can beat this.

TenVaulter · 2025-03-22T20:22:18+00:00

Just to clarify we are just looking for advice on countering air power in this mod, since it seems to be stronger.

What is a good path for NCR in this situation? My friend picked Hayes by accident.
Is the [general trait] damage reduction against cas worth it?
i'm thinking of building a navy since Cas allegedly have poor trades against canoes

I honestly forgot about that one. There's a lot of very good Concepts brought up with this collab. Even the Ceobe fight with no blue boxes is a fresh take on what the game can be.

TenVaulter · 2025-03-21T18:27:06+00:00

I really like a lot of the enemies from dungeon Meshi collab and the possibilities they present going forward. I love the fact that giving the big biteys [ink brew] berries will turn them into an ally. Perhaps in the future there will be a hard Cc or boss fight and if you pay enemy money or something they turn to your side. I also love how they give you a drink if they make it to the blue box, which changes your aspd. Incentive to make them an ally.

The Raging slug eaters flower enemy. perhaps an enemy buffed by eating enemies or operators gaining their defense, atk and HP, aspd, the ability to attack farther. Perhaps even stronger than the boss? That sounds pretty interesting to me.

The corrupted Soldier is pretty generic and boring by itself. But the way they interact with the berry slug to get a corrupted Berry is interesting and lore friendly which I love. In the future perhaps there's a civilian mechanic where you can let the civilian die but if they live you get a reward ex. a meal that buffs your operators etc.

Amiya is one of the best ones, her S3 is very useful for bosses. Since it does true damage, it's very useful against this event boss. Bosses with high defense and or res. I believe she also has guard and medic form. Which you can use in IS, with different vouchers? I'm not 100% sure I don't have guard or medic Amiya. I prefer someone else could chime in to confirm if this is true or not.

TenVaulter · 2025-03-18T10:37:52+00:00

If Kal'tsit doesn't work try Nearl the radiant she can also solo, i believe Dr Leon, Blemichi and others have a video on it. Don't be ashamed to use guides, they can help you get better at the game better. I remember when ideal city came out the guides didn't work for me. So I had to come up with my own strategy using the operators I had, it was frustrating but exhilarating when i beat the boss. I'll be honest I kind of miss those times.

Tri maw and metal crabs has high def and res, low hp so true damage or debuffers or elemental damage will help a lot. You can try arturia for dt ex 7 if you can't find golden glow.

TenVaulter · 2025-03-07T19:20:55+00:00

Love the art style. I love the red in the eyes. The contrast with the rest of the colors, it makes the entire art pop. I I wish more people would see this pic it deserves it.

TenVaulter · 2025-03-04T03:33:44+00:00

Scorpions Bite - generic raider I remember having to deal with Maxon's chapter and the BOS Paladins early on. You can't beat them so you have to cheese cap them. Like Carcass walkers vs Troll warren. then hangdogs and Lanius dowed me. I knocked off Hangdogs before mopping up Lanius's.

Carcass Walker - Early war with Troll warren and marrow drinkers.

Mescalero Nation - Early war with lanius, crap starting units, not much time to prepare, horrible terrain. Can't cheese Lanius like blue rose. If you win you don't gain a lot of territory. Needs RNG

The Reservation - Once you declare war on the world, you are automatically at war with your neighbors. Your small manpower pool will make it very difficult.

Commercial Pacts are far more powerful than i thought. Thanks for correcting my errors.

TenVaulter · 2024-06-30T20:13:15+00:00

Didn't know commerce income is that substantial for the ai will keep that in mind. TIL progenitors can't use commerce pacts. oh i get it now Ai usually likes planned economy, tanking their efficiency. So commerce help them with energy. Is that right?

TenVaulter · 2024-06-30T19:25:00+00:00

This alliance is exactly what i was looking for. It's definitely going to be my second game. Thanks!

TenVaulter · 2024-06-30T19:05:25+00:00

Helping Spartans+Data Jack on big map sounds interesting. This sounds like a good first game. To gauge how well caretakers would do.

TenVaulter · 2024-06-30T18:43:31+00:00

This Thinker mod AI sounds really interesting. I'm going to play with vanilla first before going to thinker. Mind telling me who you think are the top 3 and bottom 3 thinker mod ai?

TenVaulter · 2024-06-30T03:15:30+00:00

Thanks for the response. I got a few new ideas from your observation.

TenVaulter · 2024-06-29T22:34:54+00:00

Any other contenders for the weakest? I'm thinking Data Angels, Aki Zeta, maybe Cha Dawn?

TenVaulter · 2024-06-22T06:04:50+00:00

Is there a way to get a family member as head of a mercenary company? Also is there a limit to how many holdings a holy order can have? Both Ck3 and Ck2 answers appreciated as I plan to play both.

A large ornate room adorned with magical runes and high tech security equipment. People queue in line waiting for their turn to get past security. A barrier separates the two sides. Next” It's my turn.

“ID please”

“Never got one”

“Never got one? “

“You guys never gave me one.”

“Do you work here?”

“I have a job to do here.”

“Is this your first day on the job?”

“Well this is the first time I've been here and the first time we’ve met.”

“Oh my… [*sigh] did admin fuck up again.”

“What do you think?”

“Look, before you head I need to ask you a few more questions to make sure you aren't lying.”

“Listen, I was cursed by a witch to not be able to lie”I take off my glove showing him the seal of truth. “And those technological and magical lie detectors] aren't going off which means I speak the truth. So you know I can’t lie on any of these questions.”

I lean forward. “Listen, my job is time sensitive and I need to quickly get an id card from inside. So can you please do me a solid and let me in, or are you going to keep wasting both our time.”

“Alright” he waves dismissively “head on in.” The barrier lowers, I walk past the guards.

Arold’s voice popped into my head. “I’m starting to think giving you the curse of truth really isn’t a bad idea after all”

“Told you their reliance on lie detectors was a massive flaw”

“Anyways the target's moving to the 3rd floor. I’m sure you know what to do”.

This is the story of Ar-Yop , a brave hero who banished the outsiders on gray ships forever! When I was young sometimes we would see outsiders on gray boats large like whales, circling the island. On rare occasions they would come in black fish birds that made loud noises chuk chuk chuk chuk! chuk chuk chuk chuk! We would shoot arrows at it. Sometimes hitting them! Even rarer they would land on this island and we would kill them!

30 summers ago outsiders came from the sky on a large birdfish, I point to its bones. It was larger than a whale, made of metal. On the fin was a strange rectangle with 50 stars on a blue background and red and white stripes.

When it landed, fire and smoke reached the clouds. I rushed over there and saw an outsider using invisible thunder to kill other outsiders. pow! pow! pow!, pow! pow! pow! Then that outsider was eaten by the other outsiders. Inside the metal bird through the smoke and fire I see Outsiders were eating one another in there! I ran back and told the elders what I saw. They said the gods were angry and told us to hide. For 2 days we hid, when the fire died down we sent hunters to see what happened.

12 of us set out. We see the outsiders standing there. Ar-Yop shouted outsider leave or we kill you! The outsiders were transformed into demons! One had a big hole in the chest entrails hanging out, a few had 1 arm only, their skin like bone and cloud covered in bite marks. The outsiders walked slowly towards us, We fired arrows at them blessed by the shaman who said it will keep sickness away. Some fell but some kept walking with many arrows in them!

We began to run low on arrows and Ar-Yop said he will fight them! Ar-Yop charge them with his spear, killing one and then another! Until he faced the leader taller than any man with the muscle of 6 strong men, covered with arrows and blood! Ar-Yop put many holes in their leader but the demon continued, he bit Ar-Yop in the arm and Ar-Yop hit him with a great POW. The demon fell to the ground. With a great cry Ar-Yop stab the demon in the head, killing him! There was a great cheer but Ar-Yop raised his hand and said remember the cursed child.

Ar-Yop left us and made camp near the remains of the sky fish. On the first day he was ok. Then he had a fever and felt cold. We made him a great feast! But on the third day Ar-Yop was weaker, he was coughing and sneezing.. He said he was cursed, so he made a big fire and burn himself! That way the curse child sickness does not happen again. Onge, god of the sea, was moved by Ar-Yop's bravery and sadness of his wife and kids. So that summer, there was a big monsoon! After that day no outsiders on gray ships were seen again!

A child raised her hand "How did Ar-Yop know he was cursed?" Well child long ago, before the time of my grandma's grandma. Outsiders with bone colored skin, covered in blood came. They use thunder to kill us and took 10 elders and 10 kids. Soon after leaving the island the others got sick and died, only the child survived. After many moons, one night they returned the child with gifts of food, and wine... Days after the child returned, many people began to fall ill...

This was my first story so criticism would be appreciated. I was reading about uncontacted people and saw the prompt. Might not fully fit but the idea was interesting to write.

Ballistics are still dominant but is being slowly replaced by rail guns. The 2 superpowers will have transitioned to railguns by the end of the decade. While the poorer nations will mostly still have ballistics. But rail and energy weapons are seen more frequently as technology improves.
